A lawyer who handles these cases told Cavitt that in real estate, possession really is nine-tenths of the law and the homeowner will have to go through the painful eviction process, which could take four to six weeks.
That's not what the expression says...
It's "nine points" of the law.

Under Georgia law, there is something called an Eviction Warrant that can be issued by the Sheriff as soon as it is signed by a judge. It can be quick if done properly.
